A Story Behind A Song

When I traveled 1987 on Luzon in the mountains I met this Finnish guy in the bus from Sagada to Bontoc. During our conversations, I asked him why he wanted to visit the Philippines. He didn’t say because of beaches or rice terraces, but had a quite different story.

In Finland he had heard that song from Z.A. “ANAK” in the radio. And he found out from which country it is. So he said to himself: ” Where they make beautiful music like this must be a beautiful country”. That’s why he decided to visit the Philippines and he told me, he was right. - I agreed.

*this is my husband’s story way back years when he first time visited Philippines.I can still remember tears in his eyes as he told me this story, and it touches me because I’m a Filipino. We play this song everytime we miss Home… Philippines

Chay > no i think there's a misunderstanding hehe ;) so sorry guys my reply took so long been busy about hubby and mutti's birthday ;) ok, i will try to explain... first me and michael didn't meet in Banaue or Baguio, we met in Camiguin way back 1999 ( i think i told that to you guys in one of our topics in our mansion)

he met the finnish guy who heard the song "ANAK" in Finland in a radio and went to Philippines and they met accidentally in a bus going to Banaue, i hope that's clear now ;)
